Why My Tears Fall

"Before the creation of the welfare state, immigrants who came to this country were for the most part attracted by Americas reputation as a land of freedom and opportunity. Laws and customs that then prevailed REQUIRED immigrants to carve out their individual destinies by their own labor, perserverance, intelligence, and determination." James Thorton From THE NEW AMERICAN 1996

"Detroit is just a preview of what our country will look like if the progressive agenda goes unchecked" M. Beatty

WHY MY TEARS FALL

A land of opportunity, we were

Lady Liberty beckoning the immigrants arriving with hope

Prideful people willing to work

Looking forward to the day they too will vote

New cultures blended in the melting pot

We became a country teeming with diversity

What this country could do for us, ask not

People willing to toil for endless opportunity

Our exceptionalism was once applauded

Our power respected around the world

Patriotism was a virtue not a flaw

Cheers erupted as our flag was unfurled

Lady Liberty now stands woefully tearful

As immigrants arrive to reap welfare benefits

A once proud country now broke and fearful

Progressive policies add to its deficit

Now part of a world melting pot

No longer a power to be feared

Just another broken nation to be forgotten

As fewer remember the days she was once revered
